The literature of absolute war transnationalism and World War II Santiáñez-Tió, Nil creator author. text bibliography enk 2020 2020 monographic eng print viii, 273 pages ; 24 cm "This book addresses a set of theoretical, historical, and literary questions, shedding new light on the nature of absolute war, the literature on the world war of 1939-45, and modern war writing in general. It determines the main features of the language of absolute war, how it gravitates around fundamental semantic clusters. The Literature of Absolute War studies the variegated responses given by literary authors to the extreme and seemingly unsolvable challenges posed by absolute war to epistemology, ethics, and language. It delves into the different poetics that articulate the writing on absolute war, placing special emphasis on four literary practices: traditional realism, traumatic realism, the fantastic, and catastrophic modernism"-- Nil Santiáñez.
